    Hi!
    As the snow melted, I opened my season today.
    After about 30 minutes of riding, as the engine was hot, it took about 30 seconds until I started it again.
    And, yes, that problem was the last year too, especially after some stops in summer rides in wood.
    Is the carburetor adjusted too lean? (factory adjustment) Or maybe something else?

    Maybe a clogged petcock, fuel filter, or problems with your float bowl getting the right amount of gas.

    Could also be a tight intake valve. When the bike is cool, you are getting fuel and air, as the bike get hot, the intake valve is tightening and you're not getting enough fuel and air.
